Jumping hurdles

"Love recognises no barriers.
It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls,
to arrive at its destination full of hope." - Maya Angelou

I don't know why we think that LOVE is always going to be the easiest path to take. Often it is the harder of two choices. As Maya Angelou says, 'Love is willing to jump over all barriers and hurdles' in order to please the 'Other.'

When Christ contemplated the pain of the cross, it must have been a huge hurdle for him to overcome. However, as he scaled the heights of that pain and agony, he did so because of the Hope that awaited Him and ultimately, it is that Hope which is given to all of us.

May you journey through your day 'full of hope' and may your love recognise no barriers before you.

1 John 2:10 - "Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble."

Putting up the barriers

People are very good at putting up barriers, fences, walls around ourselves. We do this to keep people "out" or maybe to keep stop ourselves being influence by the "others." The Apostle Paul reminded the Church in Ephesus that Jesus came to do the exact opposite - Jesus came to break the walls down.


"...has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility..." - Ephesians 2:14

 So, if we get tempted to put up the walls around us, then let us remember the actions of Jesus. Jesus, almost always, turned the fence into a BRIDGE, over which he invited us to walk into his Grace.

May you know God's grace today.
